We’ve Got a Lot of Chimney Experience

When you hire a contractor to work on your chimney, it’s important to know you can trust them. Our experts have dealt with several types of chimneys, especially through our other services like roof replacement. We’ve got the expertise to tackle any situation to keep your chimney working, starting with a professional inspection. Here are some of the most common issues that we’ve repaired:

1. Materials are missing or your chimney is damaged. There are a lot of parts and pieces to your chimney that keep it effective and safe. If the chimney crown or cap is damages or missing, there’s nothing to stop water from pouring inside and causing expensive damages.
2. Problems with the stone, brick, or masonry. The joints protecting your chimney can begin to wear down, whether they’re brick, stone, or mortar.  This can allow rain and other problems to enter your chimney and cause further damage or safety concerns.
3. The flashing is missing, damaged, or wasn’t installed correctly. Flashing is the metal strips that seal external components of your roof to keep water out. If the flashing around your chimney is damaged or installed wrong, it can lead to water damage to your roof, mold, or issues with the drywall and chimney.
   

4. Is your chimney leaking? If it rains and you notice water dripping down, that’s an obvious sign that you need chimney repair. At the same time, water could leak in around your ceiling or drywall. This could mean issues with your chimney, but it could also mean that you need roof repair or replacement.

Cost Pro Construction has been offering professional services for more than 15 years, so we know how to properly inspect your roof and chimney. In that time, we’ve also repaired countless leaks, so we’ll recommend the best options to fit your budget.

The masonry of your chimney is susceptible to the elements and age, so it can begin to wear down as the years go by. We’re here to help with any repairs you might need to keep your masonry secure. Repairs you might need including:
